I've been doing this too since last November, so I'll join you folks! I have started putting all my fabric onto comic book boards, or if too small, into bins. I love the book boards, because I can actually see myself using up fabric as I empty each board.

I joined the 9-patch swap here on the QB and used up about 7 yards of fabric in that. Now I am making the 9-patches into star blocks and will use about 4-5 more yards in that.

Here is a photo another quilt made entirely from the stash, except the solid blue sashing. (Here it is being basted.) The quilt has since been quilted, but I haven't gotten around to photographing it yet. This one used about 16 yards.

This last one only needs two more blocks. It used about 14 yards of fabric.

As much as I keep trying to use scraps, they do keep growing! One good visit to my favorite thrift store will send me home with 15 more yards! So I don't know if I only make scrappies so I can go buy more or what!
